(HILTON HEAD, S.C.) - Iconic Harbour Town Golf Links, the crown jewel of The Sea Pines Resort, has been named to Rolex's prestigious list of the "World's Top 1000 Golf Courses," available for purchase online at www.amazon.co.uk.
Called "nothing short of a work of art" by famed golf writer Dan Jenkins, Harbour Town Golf Links was one of only 362 U.S. courses included in the rankings. The 1,335-page compendium took three years to complete and includes public, private and resort courses from every country in the world.
"Rolex is one of the world's most respected and recognized luxury brands, and a major sponsor of golf, globally," says Cary Corbitt, Director of Sports Division of Sea Pines Resort. "We are honored that Harbour Town is included in this thorough and compelling compilation that is sure to become a travel companion for avid golfers everywhere."
Courses were evaluated by a team of 200 "inspectors" who anonymously worked their way around the world, completing an in-depth questionnaire, adding comments of their own, and scoring each course on a set of criteria. According to the book's Foreword:
"Our Editorial Committee has given each course a score, geared primarily to the excellence of the site, the course architecture involved, and of course maintenance and condition. After considerable deliberation and verification, we took the entire 33,000 courses currently registered worldwide and ended up with those we consider to be the Top 1000."
Sea Pines boasts two other outstanding layouts -- Heron Point by Pete Dye and the Ocean Course. For more information about the resort and its wide-variety of golf packages: www.seapines.com, 866.561.8802.
